This refers to the article Sister-wives by Carol Lloyd. Like the Mormons the Muslims also believe in polygamy but as a rule cannot have more than four wives at a time. However, unlike the Mormons the Muslims hardly practice it on account of stringent conditions controlling laid thereon. I think there is a tendency among women to share and this sharing-nature sometimes helps them to cling together with a single husband. Another reason which comes to my mind regarding women agreeing to wed a single husband is due to the circumstances factors. For example, women living in tribal systems or in clans , widowed women, unmarried older women, abandoned women, etc have good reason to get matrimonial attached with a single man inorder to ensure their security from the bad eyes of other men and live under gregarious conditions with their sister-wives. The husband of these women is under full liability to feed, clothe and shelter them as well as to provide them honor and security for their valence. However, this may not happen exactly in practical life yet it should be a matter of consolation for women who if left on their own may ultimately indulge in prostitution. Polygamy also helps to eliminate adultery from society. There is no pre-marital sex in Islam. Sex enters a Muslim women’s life only after marriage. It’s the same for men as well but as you know men are men! Who knows if they go on dipping their nibs in inkpots out of matrimony? I think men regardless of whatever women may think of themselves comparatively do have an edge over them in many respects, physically at least.if not intellectually. If the Mormons practice polygamy like the Muslims I believe they are rendering a service to humanity especially in the plethora of ever increasing female population in the world. If all women are not engaged in a matrimonial relationship they are bound to go astray and indulge in adultery. The only course left for them is thus polygamy.

Life is nothing but a mad man's dream. It is a dilemma which none can explain not can understand. All theories about life suffer from inadequacies and controversies. If torture is bad in one case it is the supreme goodness in other. The question is: Is a man answerable to God or the Supreme Being, who gave him life and hurled him into this world, for his life, for the acts of his existence? Were it so, don't you think God would be 'double taxing' his creation,,,,one for the Father's Sin and the other for spending his own life on earth? Life no more than a biological phenomena-Only you adopt a code of life of your choice to live it. Morals are relative conducts and vary from place to place, people to people, even of the same religion.
